You don't say where in the World you are but as you mention Freesat and
BSkyB I'm guessing you are in the UK and your dish is aligned towards Astra
at 19.2 or 28.2'E (I am in the UK and I receive both on my standard 'Sky
dish')

I found this page really useful when setting up my first Myth system :

That is no problem.. you should find all the 'Freesat' channels you want and
more.

As you effectively have a single fixed dish I would say you just need to set
the 'DiSEqC' settings to just 'LNB' and 'Universal (Europe)'

Hope that's of some help!
